THE M EADOW SONG 

I am waiting in the meadows, 
WitK a River flowing ty 
Flowing, deep and strong and mighty, 
Like God's Love — Eternally. 
For the Kealin^ of the Nations, 
There, the Tree of Life I see; 
Ho! ye thirsty; come, ye wounded; 
'Tis for thee! 'Tis for thee! 



THE MEADOW SONG 

2 
I am waiting in the meadows, 
Where the River quiet flows, 
And the flowers, sweetly blooming, 
Perfume every breeze that blows. 
All Life's battles now are over. 
All the sadness — all the tears, 
I'm victorious in Christ Jesus, 
No more fears — no more fears.

THE M EADOW SONG 

3 

I am waiting in tKe meadows 
WKere m.y Guide has stayed my feet, 
Till He come a^ain to call me, 
TKen my joy will te complete. 
Yes; He'll call me, "Up and follow! 
There's a mansion now for thee. 
It is ready! It is ready! 
Come with me — come with me." 



THE MEADOW SONG 

4 
I am waiting in tKe meadows 
Till my Lord himself appears, 
And the brightness of the present 
Veils the past, the future clears. 
For the brig,ht li^ht of His ^lory 
Shines ahead, and so I see 
What it is He has prepared. 
Just for me — just for me!

THE M EADOW SONG 

5 

So I tarry in tKe meadow^s, 

WKile the River flows along,, 

Tarry till I hear Him calling, 

Till I hear the Ansel's son^, 

Sin^in^, "Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! 

Here within the ^ates of ^old, 

Where ^reat joys do now await thee, 

Bliss untold! Bliss untold!"
